Screaming Cicadas: Rise of the Underdog — Episode 2

Sowing seeds of knowledge, he waited patiently for dead wood to bloom. When reality crushed their greed and Willow Creek wept over total crop failure, golden cicadas buzzed triumphantly across Leo's wasteland. Their piercing chirps silenced every ounce of betrayal and ridicule he had endured.
